Parking Brake Adjustment
NOTE:
- Re-setting of the parking brake is necessary after overhauling the caliper body, or if the brake calipers, housing, parking brake cable or brake discs have been changed.
- Remove the floor console to reach the adjusting nut.
- Loosen the parking brake cable until both operating levers rest in fully off position.
- Bring the brake pads in their operating position by pressing the brake pedal down several times until there is resistance.
- Tension the parking brake cable by tightening the adjusting nut, until the operating levers on both calipers lift from the stop, up to a distance of (A) and (D) between operating lever (B) and stopper (C).
Distance (A+D): Max. 3 mm (0.12 in)
- Refit the floor console.
- Parking brake lever in the car must be in fully loosened position.
- If the hand brake cables where changed, actuate the parking brake a few times with maximum force to stretch the parking brake cables, and then control adjusting as above.
- Check the wheels of their free operation.
- Test drive.
